Um, yes. I realize that. That's why I'm saying I'd be happier if he'd said what I said instead of what you say he said. I thought I said that.

That seems inconsistent with his prior statements re misleading into war. If WMD was irrelevant to the decision, than any alledged misleading should also be irrevelevant.

It is not the flip-flop the Repubs claim it to be. There is nothing inconsistent about the statement "X lied about his reasons to get public support for his decision, but the decision itself was the right one." I don't think that statement applies to the war in Iraq (the first part does, not the second), but that's neither here nor there.
I mean, if you could actually show -- as some believe -- that FDR allowed the Japanese to bomb Pearl Harbor so he could get the US into WWII, would that be irrelevant? Even if you thought the US was right to fight against Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan?
